Timeline for applying for Illinois license from out of state?

[des2192]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any insight on applying for first-time licensure through the state of Illinois from out of state? How long did the process take between applying for ATT and receiving your license after passing the NCLEX? I will complete my nursing program in mid-June so I'm trying to gauge how long it will be until I have my license in hand. Thank you so much!

Commenting to follow. Started the application process at the end of April...it took me forever to get a hold of someone who had information on out-of-state fingerprinting. Once I did, they said to let them know if the fingerprint card didn't arrive in 3-4 weeks (it has been two since I called). I graduated at the end of April and really hope to take the NCLEX by the first week of July. I'll keep you posted.
